All You Need to Know About Tennis Subscriptions

If you love catching a live forehand or a night‑time tiebreak, a good streaming plan is a must. But with so many services out there, it’s easy to feel lost. This guide breaks down the top tennis subscriptions, shows where you can get free trials, and points out cheap alternatives that still deliver the action you want.

Top Paid Services for Live Tennis

ATP Tennis TV is the official platform for the men’s tour. It streams every ATP 250, 500, and Masters 1000 match, plus the big finals. Prices start at $9.99 a month in the US, and you can grab a 7‑day trial for $0.99 to test the streams and UI.

Prime Video Tennis isn’t a dedicated tennis app, but Amazon has signed rights to several tournaments each year. If you already have Prime, you get the matches at no extra cost. Check the Prime Video sports page to see which events are on – usually the Australian Open, Wimbledon’s early rounds, and some WTA tournaments.

ESPN+ also offers a solid tennis lineup. You’ll find ATP, WTA, and Grand Slam qualifiers, plus exclusive commentary. The subscription is $6.99 per month, and a 7‑day free trial is available for new users.

Free and Low‑Cost Alternatives

Not ready to pay yet? Several options let you watch tennis without a full subscription. BBC iPlayer streams the Wimbledon finals live in the UK, and the Eurosport Player sometimes offers a 30‑day free trial that includes the French Open. If you have a cable package that includes a sports channel, you can often access the channel’s app (like Sky Sports in Europe) at no extra charge.

For Android and iOS users, the official tournament apps (Australian Open, US Open) sometimes provide free live streams of selected matches. They’ll prompt you to upgrade if you want full access, but you can still catch the big‑screen moments for free.

Another trick is to combine a low‑cost VPN with a service that’s free in another country. For example, a US VPN can give you a UK IP, letting you watch the BBC’s Wimbledon feed. Just remember to respect each service’s terms.

Lastly, keep an eye on social media. Platforms like YouTube occasionally host live streams of smaller events, and the official ATP and WTA channels post highlights and match‑day recaps that are perfect for a quick fix.

When you choose a subscription, think about how often you watch, which tours you follow, and whether you need on‑demand replays. If you only tune in for Grand Slams, a Prime Video add‑on or a short ESPN+ trial might be enough. If you follow the whole ATP season, ATP Tennis TV gives the most comprehensive coverage.

Signing up is usually straightforward: create an account, pick a payment method, and start the free trial. Set a reminder to cancel before the trial ends if you decide it’s not for you – most services will send a warning email a few days before the charge hits.

Now you know where to find the best tennis subscription deals, how to test them for free, and which low‑cost options can fill the gaps. Grab your racket, fire up the screen, and enjoy the next match without breaking the bank.
